A big part of our appearance and oral health is having a beautiful, white smile. Visiting your family dentist regularly and taking care of your pearly whites can have enormous benefits including:

Lower risk of oral diseases including gum disease and gingivitis.

Higher self-esteem and confidence

Reduces your risk of heart disease and stroke

Makes you appear more youthful and healthy

At our Calgary dental clinic, our family dentist offers affordable dental care and cosmetic dentistry services, including teeth whitening and veneers, to help you achieve and maintain a beautiful and healthy smile for life.

3 Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments for Whiter, Healthier Teeth

The latest trends in cosmetic dentistry offer advanced ways to not only improve your appearance, but also your oral health. Some of the most popular treatments at our dental office include:

1. TEETH WHITENING

Over the years, poor dental care and habits such as cigarette smoking and the consumption of dark-colored liquids such as coffee and red wine, can cause stains to build up on the enamel of your teeth.

If you are feeling self-conscious about a lacklustre smile, then you may want to talk to your family dentist about in-office teeth whitening to help restore the brightness and beauty to your smile.

Britesmile Teeth whitening at Marlborough Dental Clinic

At our Calgary dental office, we use the advanced Britesmile Teeth Whitening System to significantly brighten your smile in JUST ONE TREATMENT.

How it works

Britesmile Teeth Whitening consists of a gentle whitening gel that is activated by a special blue light to effectively whiten and brighten your teeth.

How long it takes

One in-office teeth whitening treatment will take approximately 1 hour.

Number of treatments needed

The number of treatments you require will depend on how discolored your teeth are. While you’ll see dramatic results after just one treatment, additional sessions may be required to achieve your desired shade.

2. PORCELAIN VENEERS

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the natural look of your teeth, while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel.

This cosmetic dentistry treatment is ideal for patients who are looking to:

Make slight position alterations in their teeth

Alter their tooth shape, size and colour

Correct a gap between their teeth

Fix a tooth fracture

Correct minor bite-related problems

Book a consultation at your local dental office

Visiting your family dentist and asking about veneers is the first step in determining whether this cosmetic dentistry treatment is the right option for you.

Through several methods, including a smile analysis and a diagnostic ‘mock-up’, your dental care professional can ensure you get the most satisfying and safe results possible.

3. Invisalign

Gone are the days of stiff-metal braces irritating and cutting your mouth. At Marlborough Dental Clinic, we offer Invisalign - a clear and flexible braces alternative. Suitable for patients of all ages, these removable aligners can be used to fix problems such as:

Tooth crowding

Unevenly spaced teeth

Overbite

Underbite

Crossbite

Advantages of Invisalign

Apart from the fact that these aligners are virtually invisible, Invisalign provides a wide number of benefits compared to traditional metal braces including:

Enhanced Comfort

The high-quality, smooth material of Invisalign gives you unparalleled comfort so you never have to worry about any sores, scratches or irritation.

Easier Cleaning

One of the biggest challenges braces pose to your dental care is that trapped food can become difficult to remove. Over time, this can lead to tooth decay.

Since Invisalign aligners are removable, it’s easy to continue brushing and flossing as you always have.

No Diet Restrictions

Eating certain foods with braces is difficult but some patients also worry about their meals getting caught in the brackets.

With removable Invisalign aligners, you can now eat whatever you want with total peace of mind.

More Accurate, Efficient Results

Family dentists often recommend Invisalign because it allows them to provide a dental treatment that is fully computerized.

This means that your treatment can be customized and adjusted to meet your specific oral needs, and it can estimate how long your treatment will take, so there are no nasty surprises.
